Although I have been a big fan of 2k for years, this thing with microtransactions in the game has become disgusting. The gameplay doesn't have any significant difference from the previous 2k games, overall I expected more things

I bought it, I got rid of it. Why? Although it has super graphics and gameplay, the microtransactions (asking you to pay for every little thing) and the long waiting times until it loads make the game unbearable. I hated it within a week and kicked it out. Sorry, that is the truth...

Many bugs and glitches. The story mode personally doesn't interest me in any NBA game. The online part is good, but the 1v1 with friends is really fun and enjoyable.

By far the most serious title of sports games in recent years. Playing the series from the era of 2k6 until today, what I see every year is improvement in every aspect of the game, sometimes small and sometimes big. Despite the lack of competition in recent years (and this is INCREDIBLY important), it seems to respect its audience every year and take steps forward instead of sticking to a stale formula with minor changes and selling like crazy. A game with tremendous depth in gameplay that requires time to understand and get into its philosophy, especially if you are new. The game modes could stand on their own as games. Especially MyPlayer this year reached another level. Graphics and presentation are quite good. The sound is at the same level as previous titles. For someone who loves basketball, it is a must-have title. And for someone who is playing it for the first time, it takes time to judge it

I have been blown away!!!! The best SportGame in the world of SportGames!!! It's definitely worth the money, the online mode is simply epic and the fact that you build your player from scratch and make them an NBA STAR is amazing!!!! What can one say about the offline system?? REALLY! It has everything from a simple match where you choose teams, etc. to playing 100% alone to try out dunks, layups, etc. It's a very complete game, it has variety in dribbling but also different camera angles. IF I were to say that it lacks something, it would be the story mode in my career

Positive:
-Nice graphics
-Good gameplay
-Great sound
-Very strong and advanced career mode
(In essence, you are in a neighborhood with shops, courts, training, etc. and you can simply go wherever you want instead of choosing the NBA store, for example, and having that come up.)

Negative:
-In the career mode, the lowest level is pro. It should have an easier level, not everyone was born knowing how to play basketball.
-Lastly, the new trend with virtual currency. It's difficult to earn the so-called VC, and all the upgrades are very expensive. So what does it tell you? Spend real money to buy VC. Personally, I won't even spend 2 euros.
(It will end up costing us 100 euros for a game in the end.)
All games from now on that use this tactic will receive a 4/5 from me.

The game is good, with improvements in graphics, gameplay, especially in multiplayer when playing 3v3 with friends, it's very entertaining. BUT, the microtransactions are ridiculous, unfortunately they have ruined it.

Much better than 17 in terms of gameplay and online, I don't really like the way you use mycareer because generally that's why I get 2K, it also shows too many cutscenes without any particular reason but we're talking about exaggeration, I mean every move you make has one, that's why I gave it 4 stars, also mycareer is less interesting in my opinion... I'm still at the beginning of course, I've only played for 2 days but I've been playing it non-stop and the beginning is what matters most in a game to grab the player's attention!

It is better than its predecessor but the European teams have been removed.. I give it a 9/10 because it has reached a very good game ceiling.

I ignored last year's title and eagerly awaited to buy 2K18...
The lack of competition did a huge disservice to the game and 2K didn't seem to have much appetite to deal with it. Instead of improving things, they managed to create more problems.
-For the first time, I experienced intense frame drops and freezing in the NBA 2K game.
-The game now rewards you with very few VC. If you want to change your player's hair, you have to play for 20 consecutive days. Otherwise, pay with real money, says our beloved 2K!!
-The gameplay is much worse and clunkier compared to 2K16 that I had.
-I will leave the online part uncommented because it is a complete tragedy (at least for now).
-Euroleague is gone, so there are no European teams, not even for a sample, and they also removed many legendary teams from the past.
Every year it gets worse, I will sell the game to buy NBA Live.
It's a shame for such a game to end up like this.

Bought it on Thursday. Disappointment like I have never been disappointed before... I hope with an update they will improve many things... And especially what a nonsense with the sounds on the controller? The fact that it doesn't have European teams is not such a negative for me, but only if you play it you will understand... What a shame! Update quickly...
